Jamaal and Mondaire are both running in hotly contested primaries immediately to the north of the New York City district where AOC defeated an establishment incumbent in 2018. Both are endorsed by the PCCC. Both have joined PCCC members on Zoom to answer questions live. Both are amazing candidates fighting for justice. Both support Medicare For All and a Green New Deal.
Mondaire’s opponents include a millionaire and a candidate rolling in defense industry donations. If elected, Mondaire will be the first openly gay black member of Congress in American history.
Jamaal is a public school teacher and principal who founded the highest-ranked middle school in New York for improving students’ test scores. He is running to defeat a 16-term incumbent who was caught on a hot mic at a Black Lives Matter rally asking for a speaking slot, saying, "If I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care."
Ritchie Torres grew up in public housing and had made affordable housing a central issue. He's a young Afro-Latino gay progressive man. Ritchie is running for an open seat with multiple progressives and one truly horrible Dem who might win.
This primary is around the corner. Can you chip in to help Mondaire, Jamaal, and Ritchie campaign for Congress, and our work to elect him and progressives like them across the country?
